**** IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
Do not touch hot metal surface. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma Customer Service for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma Housewares, may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when using or moving an appliance containing hot liquids.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
Be sure to use on a dry, level and heatresistant surface.
This appliance should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly.
This appliance is not intended for deep frying food.
To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug into the wall outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
c.) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle.
The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An adapter, Figure B, should be used for connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong receptacles. The grounding tab, which extends from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in Figure C using a metal screw.

Before First Use

Read all instructions and important safeguards.
Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a suffocation or choking risk to children.
Wash stainless steel body and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the surface of the stainless steel base and heating plate with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base of the Hot Pot in water or other liquids.

To Assemble

Locate the lid handle. The screw needed to assemble the handle to the lid has been screwed into the lid handle.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw from the handle.
Place the handle on top of the lid, so that it lines up with the hole in the lid correctly.
Place the screw beneath the lid so that it fits correctly through the hole in the lid and into the handle.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screw until the handle is securely attached to the lid.

Note:

Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Do not immerse the stainless steel base, cord or plug in water at any time.
Any other servicing should be performed by Aroma® Housewares.

To Cook

Before each use, check for debris on the surface of the heating plate and remove if there is any present.
Pour desired broth into the body of the Hot Pot.
Place the body on the heating base and ensure it’s properly in place by turning until both surfaces meet snugly.
Plug the power cord into a 120V AC wall outlet. The POWER indicator light will illuminate.
Adjust the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. The HEAT indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the cooking process has begun.

To Clean

Wash the stainless steel body and tempered glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Wipe the surface of the base with a damp cloth. 4. Dry all parts thoroughly. Reassemble for next use.

Caution:
